Temper Tantrums 0

I used to have a boss who was a retired bird colonel USA. He told us that the army had taught him that, when there was a decision being considered, to

“. . . fight like hell until the decision is made, then shut up and make it work.”

Dick Polman on Republican “contempt for democracy” (the title of his post):

These cancellations and disruptions (among others) were not precipitated by bad weather, or a power outage, or a busted water main, or a national emergency. They happened because the Republicans were behaving like toddlers.

Having failed to get their way on health reform, the losers threw a tantrum and refused to let the grownups get on with the everyday business of governing – actually for the second straight day, thus confirming the recent vow by John “Country First” McCain that there “will be no cooperation for the rest of the year.”

It’s worth the five minutes it takes to read.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
